Moonpetal Studio

Another long but productive day behind us in Ashbourne ,learning about the dry needling trigger points. This part was soo good,as my occiput was really tight,so it was my jaw and lower back.Dry needling with a little massage did it wonders,feeling blissfully loose haha.

My availability from the week of 5th till the 11th of October.

The last couple of availabilities for this Friday and the week ahead.

I have some extra availabilites for next week Friday due to cancellation,so if you would like to book a massage for the 25th of Friday or for any other available dates, just message me.

Long day today again,first part of the dry needling course behind us. Honestly,I already love the result. My neck, shoulder and arm is so much looser and pain free.

My availabilities for the remainder of this week,next and the following week are quite limited,so if you have been thinking about a massage session with me,and the timing suits,let me know.

I've had a little realisation about my 120-minute massage sessions.

When I created my 120-minute option, I described it as an "unhurried session with more time."
The more I do these treatments, the more I realise just how important those words actually are.
I would love to cover the whole body in two hours,and sometimes I can. But sometimes, that's simply not what your body needs.
If you're coming to me with sore or very tight shoulders, neck and back, lower-back discomfort and tight glutes, I may also want to work through the backs of your legs.
I can easily spend an hour — or more — just on the back, arms, shoulders, neck and lower back, especially when we're dealing with ongoing tension or other issues in those areas.
So I'm not going to rush through those areas just so I can say I've managed to work every part of your body.
If your body needs me to slow down, I slow down.
And sometimes… I have to go slooow.
Especially if you're visiting me for the first time, or you haven't had a massage for a good while. Your body and nervous system may need a little more time to get used to the work and allow those tissues to let go.
That's actually what I mean by an unhurried session with more time.
It's not about trying to squeeze as much as possible into two hours.
It's about having enough time that I don't have to rush you.
I will always try to cover as much as I reasonably can within our time together, but the treatment is guided by what your body needs on the day.
There's another thing I've noticed with my regular clients…
The more consistently you come, the more quickly your tissues often seem to respond.
When clients come regularly — often around or under the 4-week mark — I find that we don't always need to spend quite so long working through that initial layer of tension. We can get to the areas that need more attention sooner and the muscles and tissues are responding so much faster, and the massage becomes more enjoyable rather than sore.
So, with clinical massage, just like with many other things…
Consistency is key.
Your body doesn't always need us to do more.
Sometimes it simply needs us to slow down, listen and give it enough time.
Just for fun-my sign is up on my wall ,I think it is funny.What do you think?

The last two available appointments for the next two weeks.

I just love when things coincide.
My treatment room was just nicknamed the "torture chamber" by one of my lovely clients,I found it hilarious and we had a good laugh about it.
We even laughed more when I showed her my new sign what will be placed on some of my walls inside the treatment room. Just for the fun and laughter. It is not even up yet,but I have a feeling it will be the perfect addition to the room.Because,you know,sometimes during the clinical massage when we find that spot, a little swearing might indeed help.
Don't worry though,I promise I'm much nicer then my treatment room apparently sounds.
Do you want to see what does it says?lol
If you know ,you know.
